q. W. Dillingham;. Sale, Brentano.
II the authoress had not informed us in
her preface that this Is her first book, we
would not have found out that fact, so
pleasant, easy, and forclbe is her style Of
writing. In the very entertaining story Is
much TO do with the church, much TO do
with workman life, and much--for which
"much thanks'--with wedding bells.
The writer has found her true province
as novelist. We think and have long
thought that woman excels In this impor-
tant branch OF literature, not, perhaps, In
Its grander themes, according 10 the worlds
estimation, but In those lowly, domestic,
affectionate, supreme In ours.

THE RUSTY LINCHPIN AND LuBoFF
ARCHIPOVNA. After the Russian Of Nine.
kRos;nanoySsy R0i;na BY N. M, M s. and J. Il T.
and Hawley streets. Publishers.
We have had quite taste lately Of Rus
slan'works Of fiction, and It was pleasant.
But all these works were descriptive Of the
social and political problems of that
troublous country. We have longed for
life. Here, for the first time, 1t is granted.
The story is love story. We almost
breathe the air of Russia In !
| 30 fresh and natural is 1t, "
to us, as Americans, so unnatur
too; all unnatural, slve the heart affair
| which we believe are the same over tn
world. "The Rusty Linchpin" must ap.
pear strange title till you know why It
| was given. Simply, then, to let you little
| way In the secret, because an almost hope
less love suit is brought to climax by the
breaking down OF carriage through the
| loss of q linchpin. The second story, with
nearly unpronouncable name, is quite as
fascinating as the other. 1t is pathetic as
well as humorous, and reveals some Of the
curious customs Of the Russians.
